Okay. But I think it's clear now that this was another bait thread to harass Christians. Had nothing to do with finding out anything.
This thread was opened out of curiosity... U are disappointing me so far... Three pages gone, u cannot tell me what Christians (just 1thing) that atheists don't have here on earth.

How people just label others as enemies just for existing, deserving of extermination is funny but disturbing.

You asked me what I have that you don't have...

I told you and you insisted that I have not said anything....

Let me repeat myself again...

As an atheist, your whole existence is in danger.

Also, regardless of whatever may be your situation at present, you don't have access to peace..

It will be very difficult discussing this with you since you are not spiritually minded...

All your existence is limited to physical things alone, and there, you err.

Human thoughts are not seen, yet they defile a man

Air is not seen.However, If you are separated from it in 3 minutes,

your organs will fail, your source of "intelligence" which is your brain, will shut you down hard and fast.

Then in five minutes, you are reduced to a meal for the birds in the sky, Regardless of your status and "intelligence "

You, as a flesh, are so limited to the extent that YOUR WHOLE EXISTENCE IS HINGED ON A SUBSTANCE THAT IS NOT SEEN....

In the same vein, therefore, your whole life is in danger because you have separated yourself from

the one that puts you together atom by atom, molecule by molecule, organ by organ and limb by limb.


That separation, puts you in great danger, my friend and your soul wanders in the spiritual..seeking for peace.

But Peace, it cannot find.

Yes
How?


frank317:
OK good for him.
Excellent.


frank317:
No... Just wondering why u have no joy to offer yet u preach.
I have never preached to you. I have answered your challenges to what we believe as Christians.

And we do have joy. If I said that once I probably said it a hundred times here. But as I told you in my first post, you have everything you want, so why does what Christians have bother you, especially considering that we are looking at completely different frames of reference?


frank317:
Stop telling me what I already know... Just wondering, what's ur selling point as a Christian. This thread has revealed how useless ur religion is.
This thread has revealed how dishonest you are.


frank317:
Animals don't have the same intelligence like u yet the suffer too and this does not get u thinking that suffering comes with survival? Yet when u suffer u being to call Satan? So since Satan makes u an intelligent being suffer, who make less intelligent animals suffer?
Has any animal complained to you yet?

Satan is the reason suffering exists because his rebellion resulted in judgment. Man joined that rebellion and thus brought creation - which was under his authority - into the same judgment.


frank317:
Pls stop blaming invisible Satan for life problem... Regions where means of survival are not scarce do not experience the same suffering like others. It has nothing tondo with Satan, but planning and strategizing.
That's like saying "stop blaming invisible infrared for the heat".

I am not sure how you figure that. What regions have less suffering and how do you measure?


frank317:
See ur life. U are actually making me doubt ur intelligence. I asked u what Christians enjoy that atheists don't and u present these things... What does it imply. That's why i said u don't know how to answer questions. U end up talking in circles and lose focus. That's why u fail to see the implication of ur replies.
I'm making you doubt my intelligence? ONLY NOW?!! I thought you said that I am crazy and should be in an institution. Since when did you think I was intelligent?

When did you say that I don't know how to answer questions? Was it when you tried to force words into my mouth?

Where did I fail to see the implications of my replies?


frank317:
What's God's attention? How can I see u and know that u have Gods attention. U don't know what a wife's intimate attention is? Oga operationally define what God's intimate attention is. It has been always preached that Christians will get Gods intimate attention, hence I opened the thread... Let me rephrase...what special about Gods intimate attention.
How can I see you and know that you have your wife's attention? Lemme guess, you probably don't care whether I know or not. Same thing here. But the reason on my end is that "intimate attention" is an English phrase. It means "very close interest and attentiveness". So I am saying that God is like a dad, only closer, or a mom, only way closer, or a BFF, only much closer, or...you get the idea. That's hardly something you can show someone even with a visible mom, dad, wife, BFF etc. Some small things may show or indicate it but nothing can capture something so insubstantial and "vague".

What's special about God's friendship? Just that it is God's friendship. Nobody knows how to be a friend better than God.


frank317:
Then tell me why I should desire it. Cos it seems it makes no difference
Did anybody tell you why you should desire to be married?


frank317:
Of course
You finally get that? Hallelujah.


frank317:
At least u have troubles... I don't disturb myself by life difficulties too... I am doing fine. Or do u think atheists are troubled? Christianity actually has nothing to offer.
Sure you are. grin

I find little reason to believe that it was. In my very first post, I told you that it makes little sense to be asking what Christianity has to offer you when you have had seven years to try atheism and you love your experience. And you are one of those who claim to have been a Christian before you became an atheist. How then would you be curious about what Christianity has to offer unless you are willing to admit that there may be something about Christianity that you do not know? And you are not.

Also, I explained in my first post that as long as what matters to you is this life and nothing more, Christianity has nothing to offer you that you could ever value.

The reason the conversation has stretched is because you instantly twisted that to mean that Christianity is useless to human beings in this life. That was underhanded, the very definition of dishonesty. The statement was qualified when I made it. As long as all you care about is your material experience, I said, Christianity has nothing to offer you.

But human beings are spiritual as much as material beings. So, there is no possibility that you only care about this life. Death bothers you even if only because it does happen and not because you fear anything that may follow it. And why should you be afraid to die if all there is is material existence. Living and dying make no difference to a purely materialistic worldview.

What is more? There are sickness and emotional pain and threats of physical injury everywhere in the world. Nobody can escape them and they are incredible causes of worry and fear for the vast majority of human beings. This is why human beings find that they must address the question of God somehow. It is why you started this thread too. Perhaps in your mind, if you could defeat another Christian in a debate about God, it would confirm to you yet again that you have nothing to fear from God.

So, you do care about more than this material life. Or else, my belief in God and the constant haranguing of those Christians you complained about would not bother you in the slightest, certainly not enough for you to be starting threads to challenge Christianity.

For this reason, I believe that you know that Christianity is useful to human beings in this life unless they have succeeded at blinding themselves completely to the true nature of life. This is why you tried to sell a straw man on the thread.

As I said, if you can manage to restrict all of your concerns to material life and completely ignore spiritual matters, then, of course, Christianity has nothing to offer you since then you couldn't care less about Eternal Judgment. But if you can't, then Christianity does offer peace with God and a confident knowledge that you have nothing to fear from Eternal Judgment. In addition, it offers you God's Comfort, Friendship and Support through this life as you battle for eternal rewards that this world is hopeless to ever offer an equal to. Finally, it offers you all the provision you need to live a worthy life for God in this world so that being a Christian does not therefore mean that you are miserable all your life.

This is what I have said several times but which you continue to ignore. The only reason you would ignore it is because you have something else that you want me to be saying. And I have no intention to say anything but what I have actually said.

So it's been three pages gone with you doing your best to avoid dealing with rather straightforward truths.

As an atheist, your whole existence is in danger.
While I light jot have control over something in life, I know exactly the kind of danger I face as a human and all Christians face same danger... To list a few: danger of bad health, accident, shortage of finance and losing loved ones... Both atheists and Christians try as much as possible to avoid these dangers... And sometimes fall prey.
I really don't know what u mean by my whole existence is in danger... Is there any danger I am in that I don't know of?
Why tell me I am in danger when u obvious can face same danger I have listed above... This does not make u special sorry.


Also, regardless of whatever may be your situation at present, you don't have access to peace..
Is this ur wish or fact. U are telling that even though feel peace, I don't have it... Thats insane. Its seems u really don't want me to have peace because I am an atheists, well breaking news I have peace. Ur fellow Christian said u are at war, its ur baggage not mine.


It will be very difficult discussing this with you since you are not spiritually minded...
I agree with u here... I am not capable of making accusations because I not spiritually minded. Did ur spirit eye see my lack of peace? Christians claim to be spiritual with nothing to show for it.



All your existence is limited to physical things alone, and there, you err.

Human thoughts are not seen, yet they defile a man

Air is not seen.However, If you are separated from it in 3 minutes,
Ur existence is beyond physical yet u cannot show me one single thing u enjoy as a Christian that I don't. This is not about throwing accusations. Anybody can say anything but show it.

As the air is so Vital to your body, yet it is unseen,

So is God vital to your soul...even though he is invincible.

In the absence of air, the body is in danger. ...

...and in the absence of God almighty in your life, Your soul is in danger .

You are susceptible to Spiritual attack anytime, and you risk eternal damnation of hell.

That's why you don't have peace....

Your Soul thirsts for the source of life..

Accept Jesus today and find peace for your soul...

He is the prince of peace .

U compare ur so called creator with air, how does that make him look? Yes I can specifically tell you I will fall and dies within minutes if I decide not to take in air... Ur useless God have been absent in my life for more than seven years now, I am healthy, surviving and waiting to die when my time comes just like any Christian... In my opinion air is a billion times more important than ur God. Comparison f ur God to air is an insult to air.

U can wish a million times I don't have peace but that's ur baggage. I know u cannot stand seeing a human not pray, fast and vigil or worship but is still doing fine, are u shocked? Well this is me.... Isn't it a sad thing to Imagine me at peace, so in order to feel good u wish i don't have peace.

I am waiting for ur spiritual attack. U are so blinded that u don't know I am way past all those rubbish.

Who told you guys that the only way to express free will is to choose between good and evil? Is there free will in this your fantasy heaven? Are you supposed to become robots in your fantasy heaven where there's is no evil? Stop suspending your critical thinking skill in other to believe fantasies.

Its really sad... I call it brainwashing 101.

Perhaps they will be choiceless in heaven... Then I will see how their God who loves choice so much will survive.
They are programmed to think evil is necessary yet they are hoping for a world without evil after they die. They think free will is necessaries but are not wondering how freewill will be possible in heaven.

One is telling me I don't have peace, yet he does not see how arrogant he sounds. The other is telling me devil is the cause of suffering, I am waiting for him to tell me why devil think its necessary to make animals too suffer, are animals also after God's heart?

That is excellent for you. But the primary choice that every human being has free will to make is between

A. Loyalty to God and being part of His Eternal Family; and

Those two things are the primary definitions of good and evil. Otherwise, all definitions of good and evil are entirely subjective and practically useless.

You know what a friend is. It's a universal concept. You would be a peculiar human being not to understand this concept.

- Okay. Still, for all the pain and all, you'd be dead and it would be over, so, why the concern?

- Why should that bother you? People die everyday and their survivors carry on.

- Why do you need to be remembered? Life is purely material. What is materially necessary about being remembered? After all, you want death to be the end, don't you?

You can achieve everything without acknowledging God but yet you can't achieve all without God loving you.

You have a choice not to acknowledge Him But God does not have a choice not to love you. Jesus loves you unconditionally!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

I have been an atheist for more than seven years now and looking back, I am yet to see what I have missed not worshiping God.

This is a summary of my life since I became an atheist
- wake up in the morning
- plan my day
- eat, exercise and work toward achieving my goals
- go to work, remember loves ones, check up on them and hangout with friends
- get home sleep.

Life has had its ups and downs, but I have pretty much been a giver than a receiver and got married now with a handsome son (despite butterflylions prayers for my marriage to fail).


I still don't understand why anyone should worship any God.

So I ask theist... Tell me just two thing that makes it life as a theists better than mine.

If u can come up with two things that makes worshiping God worth it, I will look into my life evaluate, see if I miss such and maybe give worshiping God a try.
I'll tell you just one:
HOPELESSNESS of what becomes of you if at death you discover you still live and exist in an alter state!

BTW, God doesn't need your worship as that's not the purpose for man's existence.
The purpose of man is three folds
1. Dominion over Nature and the Physical World
2. Love expressed in making others Happy and Fulfilled
3. Multiplication of Godly people on earth (biological and non-biological) who will do ALL the three duties stated.
